"DrifteI" Among the Business Men.

During my observations of some of the
business houses of Pilot Knob, while can
wasting for the ANNUAL, the first place l
came to was the mammoth harness and sad
die establishment of Mr.. L. Schwaner, who
is yet young, but thorough master of his
trade. The display of his stock is very fine.
He also keeps a full stock of everything per-
tanning to a first-class harness and saddle
store.
The next place we came to was the store
of VIM. Mcfarland. This is not small af-
fair, will let you know. Billy has big
stock of choicest groceries and dry goods,
and everything looks tidy. He has as good
run of customers as any store in the kdob.
The next is HoteiSteffens' or better known
as the Pilot Knob Hotel. This is one of the
best houses in the Valley. VIM. Steffens is
the proprietor, who is on always hand to
attend to his guests.
The next was our young and energetic
liveryman, Mr.. Stafford, who has one of the
finest livery and feed stable in the Valley.
His stock is A No. 1, his vehicles are superb,
and you can get from a One-hOrse shay to a
twenty horse band-wagon.
The next was Mr.. Rudy. agent FOR the ia
nous Klausman Brewery Company, of st.
Louis. He deliver beer IL zs- or bottle;
also mineral water.
The next was the Cvcs1I Store, Charles
Maschmeyer, proprietor. THIS IS one of the
stores where you can get Just y h.st rou w.tct
ut very reasonable figures. His stock is al
ways kept at d standard.
The next was the Post Office Store, ?. b.
Jaquith, proprietor. He also keeps small.
poultry yard, where if you go, you vii. IN
doubtedly see some of the finest fowls N The
country.
The next is the Halfway House, August
Rieke, proprietor. This house is noted for
of pure and fresh groceries. He has also an
annex to this-a drinking parlor-which is
always filled with jolly good fellows ike
himself.
The next was the Ore and Steel Company
store, Mr.. Post, manager. This store is
generally takes from one to two porters con-
stantly unpacking goods of every description
and placing them in their respective places.
A constant stream of purchasers are passing
i'm and out from opening time in the morning
to closing time at night. Innumerable cOur-
teous and obliging clerks vie with each other
in their endeavors to please and accommo-
date their numerous customers.
You will find all the above business men
have a neat and SNOWY card in the REGISTER
ANNUAL for 1887.

Poll and Sail, the two girls, they stayed
to home too, and done the spinnin' and
the weavin' and the knittin', for mother
was gettin' considerable old by the time
they'd growed up. But I'm gettin' ahead
Of time.
'Well, the winter I was ten-year old

from she might ha' come along with the
flakes. You see, to begin at the begin
min, when the Colonies got their backs
up an sot out for to be independent, my
father and mother was jist married,
they was young and struck out inter the
woods. They didn't feel no great afraid
because they was young, and she
thought he could kill all the Injuns
jist as well as not, and he thought 50 too.
Well, they want pestered none by tho
Injuns, but there's other things beside
them in the woods, forty mild from any

when the Children got out o. sorts, as
they will sometimes, why they doctored

'em lived. Jacob he fell off'n the top of

patient as men-folks ever do wait. and
that isn't so great; but when he heered
that child's squall he jumped up, pulled
on his trousers and come out.
"'Who fetched it' says he, first thing.
swell, now, if you'll b'lieve it, mother
hadn't give q thought to that, she was
so took up with rubin and feedin' and
coaxin' the child; jest like woman! So
father he put right out into the shed,
and there, where the snow had kinder
sifted in under the door, there was the
track Of a mans boots; he couldn't
never have opened the door-the man, I
mean-any way if we hadn't shoveled the
snow away some the day before, so as to
get to the wood pile for more logs. Well,
father he opened the door, but by that
time the snow had covered up any thing
in the way of tracks, and in the deep
dark you couldn't see . yard ahead. So
he come back a-shakin' his head.
"I guess she showed down. says he.
'Thet's all well ever know about her,
$50 he went back to bed, and Poll she
het up the blanket for him and went
back to her room; but mother she set
there by the fire that Poll had raked
open and set a-goin' the hull Of the rest
of the night, huggin' and coaxin' that
young one to sleep. jest like woman.

logs into the woodshed and sawed an
split 'em.
"Well it snew all that night, and by
mornin' the was three foot Of snow,

he see it didn't let up none.

think me and Sam was considerable
little to be chopin, he bein' twelve and
ten, but we was real large and strong,
and we could chop down birches as good
as father could, and saw real stable logs
with our cross-cut saw.
''Well, it snew and snew ell that day
and we went to bed early; 'twasn't no
use to set up. for there wasn't nothing
to do; 80 we banked up good log and
